2006-11-25 Alpine Autumn
EHM-0654 Murray:
In almost our last event of 2006, we invite our pilots to cross the Alps. Simple enough you might think, but to make it challenging we ask that you fly VFR, with real-world/IVAO weather and in a slow, single engine, unpressurized prop!
The event begins in the foothills on the Italian side of the Alps at Aosta (LIMW) and then we make our way across the backbone of Europe to La Veze (LFQM) in France; as the crow flies a little over 100nm, but you can expect to be traveling much further than that.
No proscribed route as this is visual all the way. Terrain following is suggested when/where possible to allow you to stay in the thicker oxygen rich air that your engine will appreciate.
Charts/info on the Online Flying pages. Use this thread for discussion.
EHM-1821 Javier:
hmm, cool, maybe VFR in IFR conditions lol;D
EHM-1883 Matt:
aww, can you change the destination to LFLJ? It would really help me with my autumn in the alps tour lol!
EHM-0654 Murray:
Hahaha Matt... :)
No
;) Anyhow, the whole point of this VFR fly-in is to get pilots flying planes they like (Jabiru 2 for me...) in the challenging environment of the Alps. Should you want to fly around the Mont Blanc (sommat Bianco in Italian...) you'll be most welcome to.
EHM-1358 Tim:
Could I take my SR-22?
